The ONLY one I can think of is some sort of on-star like service that does emergency crash response, dash came recording, notification etc. Like a security alarm for your car. But on-star is too expensive, and to get the critical services you need to pay for their “concierge” services. A break on insurance coverage…

Nothing in this story or the original CR that points to trucks being the leading cause of pedestrian deaths. In addition, no academic study has normalized 2020 data for the increase of pedestrian activity due to the pandemic. CR also spends alot of time comparing trucks across segments such as mid-size and full size.…

This varies by state. 

aesthetics...

I need off-road features about 1x month climbing in an out of un-developed sites. I buy for the worst case scenario, not the average scenario. Vehicles are ALWAYS bought with WCS thinking. 

don’t be jealous. 

This is really where it is. If you are trying to build a cheaper car, or a subscription service battery swap works as a business proposition, but it doesn’t when those aren’t your goals.

I’m also hesitant on comparing any us vehicle to an american vehicle until they are put through the same crash tests. 

You add alot of weight and complexity, and reduce battery volume by adding in how you can use the same shoeboxes between makes and models. 

I’m consistently astonished by people that think single family home construction is anything of real value as an economic statistic. It is a short term indicator, which is why it makes for a good press release. SF only accounts for at MOST 35% of total construction spending.

For what they charge for parking permits they could easily build the garages. Especially with the preferred financing and capital colleges have. There are 2 reasons they don’t. One they don’t LIKE parking. It doesn’t fit in with their “campus” like feel, and they don’t want to create traffic jambs. Two, garages are…

It has had similar growth. Not much.

I mean the higher bed height + higher bed size growth (+2" for the F150) add up. All in it is another 7" from the ground. I personally like the height and don’t mind climbing in and out of the truck. But I’m 6'+. Just knowing what the difference in height means between my wife and I when it comes to putting away…

Correct. My bet is that has alot to do with making the as much of the drivetrain and suspension common for manufacturing purposes between the 4x4 and non-4x4 trucks. Plus tire sizes have gotten bigger by default. It is all a game of an inch here an inch there. etc.

As someone who is 6' plus, I actually LIKE the higher…

Since I’m a builder I actually have fancy tools for computer take off. The F150 hood is ~4" taller than the F100. The big difference is that the F150 bumper is LOWER & the addition of the air damn adds about 11" to the overall size of the bumper to top of hood assembly. But the hood isn’t physically bigger.

I will say…

I would imagine that the judge would create his own objection and grant it somewhere around hour 2. Hell, Pretty sure Torch’s counsel would object not long there after. 

YES! I’ve been waiting for this ill informed comment on truck sizes! Please see the below comparison on similar trim F-100 & F150's. Today’s trucks have only grown 2.2" in height. Most growth has been in length & load bed height. 

I mean those are the choices you make when you elect officials. Plenty of info our there about how the us does it.

Or if you go on a family road trip every 1-2 months. You’ll be happy for the space over a sedan.

Or people who are of different dimensions. Or have a hard time getting into a sedan. 

Not to mention that cans are shit to park and have no suspension for bad roads. So just a bad choice for cities.
